you've seen this from newt gingrich going back to when he was up against bill clinton. somehow they're in with god and democrats aren't. i think what obama has done to counter this idea that he is somehow other is he's out there all the time. he's in our living rooms, out there with his family and his wife. seeming like the president and first lady next door. in that way i think most people see this for what it is. they're trying to rally the base paul ryan on this call with evangelicals. so i think in some ways it does rally evangelicals but it also rallies progressives. they are very much upset by this idea of framing this president as somehow outside the mainstream. and that's why i think progressives, there is this idea that somehow progressive and liberals and democrats aren't fired up. but they are fired up and part of the reason is because of these republican attempts to paint obama as somehow ill legitimate. >> wait until they have to hear what i have to say at the end of the show. got a last word. what is it? >> this is a reactionary kind of culture. it's not j

the first, of course, was bill clinton, and his victory was never accepted by republicans who chose instead to focus on his dalliance with an intern called monica lewinsky. they've learned nothing and forgotten nothing. yesterday speaker boehner said that he and his house colleagues want the president to succeed. great. but if he really means what he said, then he should allow the investigations in benghazi to proceed but keep a lid on mr. issa and not let him turn benghazi into another fast and furious because if he does that, it won't just be the president who succeeds. it will be the republican party, too. thank you so much for watching. remember, you can always follow us on twitter at bashir and on facebook and we've also launched a new show blog at tv.msnbc..com. so do please check that out. chris matthews and "hardball" picks things up right now. >>> all in this together. let's play "hardball." ♪
